Life without them...deadening painting!


The greenery going parallel with the walkway seemed like an uninterrupted line drawn on a sheet. It almost followed me throughout the park wherever I walked, wherever I looked.  The weather even being draggy did not affect my spirit. Birds have never allured me much, it was always the wildlife that invited my intense love.
But today when I strained my eyes with Binoculars, it somehow seemed, these birds are vivid, their flight relates a lot with our own emotions. And their behavior and diversity forces one to think about how these creations are actually created, each being carved with a special feature, with a new color and of course a newer beauty.
On each step I took, there was something to discover, be it the little snails..the eggs of frogs..the ants all busy in their work.. the peacock family sitting high on the branch of tree..with the young ones all aligned like an assembly in school..or be it the butterflies playing hide and seek.  Throughout the journey, there was a voice which echoed and its frequency kept increasing, as we entered more inside. It was the roar of tigers and lions, which added fuel to my pursuit. Observing a large number of birds, and finally moving further though felt tiring initially, but somehow I felt a drip of glucose going in me, when I entered the Tiger Rescue Area. The sight of black stripes and the movement of tigers and lions was something that increased my pace. Reaching close to them, and watching their actions made me realize the intense pain and torture these creatures must have gone through being in Circuses and other places employing them for entertainment.
It was indeed a great step in the direction of Animal welfare to rescue them, but it aches when we see their condition.  Man could never realize that the wilderness was also a creation. And now when we are faced with the fear of its extinction, everybody is talking about their protection. They were there with us since we came to into existence, but the human race failed to understand their importance. The pace of development makes us proud, but how many times do we feel good saving a specie, educating people about their existence. The animal lovers are of course exceptions to this statement.
Everyday, we hear of murders and deaths, claiming the headlines of newspapers and TV channels, how many times we have expressed grief for the death of a wild animal..? I believe the answer lies straight with us. Here comes the difference, the compassion and love are not just words to be blabbed whenever we think of animals, they must be rooted deep inside our hearts. The state of tigers today at Nahargarh Rescue Centre forced my brain to ponder upon how life changes after extortion..? Today they have lost that strength, the ability to adapt well like their peers in jungles because they were made to live and perform in a different environment for the most part of their life. Now, even after being free, they seemed helpless, and in a war with their own self and of course the Human Race which has become their greatest enemy. Still, we have a relief, not to worry much, as they are all caged, weak and struggling for their own life, what bad can they do for us..? I believe the answer to this thought would be a deadening painting of mother earth wailing incessantly for existence and the decimation of wilderness completely one day...




They shed tears..they cant speak to express their happiness and grief..but they simply look with a hope of attention and love.. they add beauty..they add excitement...but still we don't claim them ours..and still they continue to do their job..asking nothing materialistic..but just our love and care...they are the Beautiful Animals..go ahead...and fondle them..they need you..!!!!
